Electric circuits
• Electric circuits are models of electrical systems.
• An electric circuit is an interconnection of electrical
elements linked together in a closed path so that an
electric current may flow continuously.
• An ideal circuit component is a mathematical model of
an actual electrical component, such as the below
battery connected to the light bulb.

Circuit variables
Connecting a conducting wire (consisting of several atoms) to a battery
(a source of electromotive force), the charges are forced to move which
creates current.
Electric current (𝒊) :is the time rate of change of charge, measured in
amperes (A).
𝑑𝑞
𝑖= ,
𝑑𝑡
The unit of current :is the ampere (A). An ampere is 1 coulomb per
second.
It is conventional to take the current flow as the movement of positive charges.
That is, opposite to the flow of negative charges.
Dr. Lobna A. Said 23
Circuit variables
Types of current:
A direct current (dc) is a current
that remains constant with time.
Circuit variables
Example 1:
The total charge entering a terminal is given by: 𝑞 =
5𝑡𝑠𝑖𝑛 4𝜋𝑡 𝑚𝐶. Calculate the current at 𝑡 = 0.5𝑠.
Solution:
𝑑𝑞
𝑖= = 5𝑠𝑖𝑛 4𝜋𝑡 + 20𝜋𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑠 4𝜋𝑡 𝑚𝐴,
𝑑𝑡
At 𝑡 = 0.5𝑠,
𝑖 = 5𝑠𝑖𝑛 2𝜋 + 10𝜋𝑐𝑜𝑠 2𝜋 𝑚𝐴 = 31.4159𝑚𝐴.

Circuit variables
To move the electron in a conductor in a particular direction
requires some work or energy transfer. This work is
performed by an external electromotive force (the voltage).
Voltage (or potential difference) is the energy required to
move a unit charge through an element, measured in volts
(V).
𝑑𝑤
𝑣=
𝑑𝑞
Circuit variables
Types of voltages:
Like the current, a constant voltage is called a dc voltage and
is represented by V, whereas a sinusoidally time-varying
voltage is called an ac voltage and is represented by 𝑣
The voltage across an element (represented by a rectangular
block) connected to points a and b is 𝑉𝑎𝑏 or 𝑉𝑏𝑎 .
The plus and minus signs are used to define reference direction
or voltage polarity.
𝑉𝑎𝑏 = −𝑉𝑏𝑎

Circuit variables
Power is the time rate of supplying or absorbing energy,
measured in watts (W).
𝑑𝑤
𝑝=
𝑑𝑡
Where 𝑤 is energy in joules (J) and t is time in second
(s).
Applying Chain Rule:
𝑑𝑤 𝑑𝑤 𝑑𝑞
𝑝= = . = 𝑣𝑖.
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑞 𝑑𝑡
The power associated with a basic circuit element is simply
the product of the current in the element and the voltage
across the element.
Dr. Lobna A. Said 31
Circuit variables
Example 5:
Calculate the power delivered or absorbed by each
element in the following circuit.
Show that the sum of the delivered power = sum of the
absorbed power.
Dr. Lobna A. Said 33
Circuit variables
Solution:
P(absorbed):elements a,c,d,f
𝑝 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑏𝑒𝑑 = 10 + 14 + 9 + 36 + 40 = 109
P(supplied):elements b,e,g
𝑝 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 = −3 − 100 − 6 = −109
Dr. Lobna A. Said 34
Circuit variables
Example 6:
The Figure shows a circuit with five elements. If p1 =
− 205W, p2 = 60W, p4 = 45W and p5 = 30W ,
calculate the power p3 received or delivered by element
3.
Solution:.
𝑝 𝑎𝑏𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑏𝑒𝑑 = 60 + 45 + 30 = 135,
𝑝 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑑 =-205,
To achieve (Positive Power) + (Negative Power) = 0 ; p3
must be received power and it is equal to 70.
